Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9846380A1] Guide means interposed between a blade-holder (20) and the frame (12) of a bending press comprise a slide (40) slidable along an axis (Z) perpendicular to the plane of the metal sheet (P) to be bent. The blade-holder (20) is coupled to the slide (40) so as to be slidable along an axis inclined to a plane perpendicular to the plane of the sheet (P). First means (38) for bringing about movements of the blade-holder (20) along the axis perpendicular to the plane of the sheet (P) are interposed between the frame (12) and the blade-holder (20). Second means for bringing about movements of the slide (40) along the inclined axis are interposed between the slide (40) and the blade-holder (20) in order to produce movements of the blade-holder (20) towards and away from the blank-holder (16, 18), parallel to the plane of the sheet (P). These movements can be brought about in preselected combinations, preferably under the control of a numerical-control device.
